3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as vGod Almighty,1 but wby my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them.
4 Sing to God, psing praises to his name;
lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts;
his name is the Lord;
exult before him!
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ubefore Abraham was, vI am.”
8 eJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Greeting to the Seven Churches
4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from him gwho is and who was and who is to come, and from hthe seven spirits who are before his throne,
8 And the four living creatures, ueach of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and vday and night they never cease to say,
w“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
xwho was and is and is to come!”
